About Aidan Turner

Aidan Turner is an Irish actor most famous for his role on BBC One drama 'Poldark'. He rose to fame after starring on vampire series 'Being Human', playing the character of John Mitchell from 2009 to 2011.

Aidan attracted rather a lot of attention for one of his scenes where he appeared topless while scything a field. He later appeared in an new adaptation of Agatha Christie's 'And Then There Were None', and most recently he's one of the names rumoured to be replacing Daniel Craig as the next James Bond. Aidan will be back on screen on season two of 'Poldark' in autumn 2016.
